I think you might want to look at that a bit more closely - Beijing had an extremely cold spell for most of December, that does make December the coldest on record for Beijing. Not the whole of China as far as I'm aware.Quote:

December record lows were recorded at 78 of China's weather stations, and ... China's Xinjiang region, in the far west of the country, experienced record-breaking low temperatures of -52.3C on 18 February, so into February as wellQuote:

I'm going to go out on a limb and call this 'bad'.
78 out of 2419 weather stations in China.Quote:

The notion that some very cold weather in China somehow means that global warming isn't happening or is nothing to worry about just shows a large amount of ignorance on the topic
Yep ! Knew it wouldn't take long for the personal insults to arrive.Quote:

At least that congressman was prepared to say what he actually believed, even if he's misunderstood a few things :hehe:Quote:

It's all just innuendo eg "follow the money - some rich people have bought some houses in Hawaii" -but you never get any explanation of who and what they think that means.
Or there will be a post about some cold weather in China - presumably to try to make the point that Climate change isn't happening or important or something like that, but the exact point is never made, so it kind of just hangs there.
Try turning off your television for a week and let us know if there is any improvement.Quote:

Last month was the world's warmest February in modern times, the EU's climate service says, extending the run of monthly records to nine in a row.
Each month since June 2023 has seen new temperature highs for the time of year.
The world's sea surface is at its hottest on record, while Antarctic sea-ice has again reached extreme lows.
Temperatures are still being boosted by the Pacific's El Niño weather event, but human-caused climate change is by far the main driver of the warmth.
"Heat-trapping greenhouse gases are unequivocally the main culprit," stresses Prof Celeste Saulo, Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organization.
Carbon dioxide concentrations are at their highest level for at least two million years, according to the UN's climate body, and increased by near-record levels again over the past year.
Those warming gases helped make February 2024 about 1.77C warmer than "pre-industrial" times - before humans started burning large amounts of fossil fuels - according to the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service.
That's all well and good but it's not as convincing as an internet meme.Quote:

Im quite critical of the way a lot of environmental policy is implemented and I think many Green parties have gone a bit mad which isn't helpful, but it's hard to argue with these figures isn't it?
If I'm reading it right, every single day for the past year has been a record temperature for that day.Quote:

- Bono of U2 singing about poverty and pestering low and middle income to part with their money “until it hurts” to help famine in Africa, only to be squirrelling away his millions in Switzerland and minimizing his taxes. Ker-Ching!!
Greta “The Fretter” Thunberg. Too “young, dumb and full of cum” (as Eminem sang) to figure out how to make money from her antics just yet but give her time. She is building her public profile nicely. Someone will show her how to grift some money out of it soon. But for the moment it is “protest about the environment” whilst joyfully playing her part in soaking the clouds in jet fuel.
All of the above behaviour is like a male campaigning on behalf of the Me Too movement, only to find out that behind closed doors they are behaving like Josef Fritzl. I have maximum cynicism for people who try to play Mother Theresa. Often, my antenna starts twitching and soon enough you find double standards.
Practice what you preach, c*nts, then we’ll have an adult conversation. Until then, get your own sh1t together instead of preaching to us all like a dirty priest.

It's getting hotter and hotter every year, the increase is accelerating also, we've gone past 1.5 degrees quicker than we thought. We are utterly screwed and we have mostly older people just sticking their fingers in their ears 'lalala not listening'.

Although I consider many of your post unneccesarily aggresive and counter-productive, your approach to such things is very interesting indeed. You are asking for someone to understand the theories and scientific papers regarding certain subject matter and then to critique them and express why they may disagree with them. Unfortunately, the ignorant have a different approach......Quote:

The second part of the question is impossible to answer because there isn't an answer. They know this which is why they deflect, insult and ramble about Greta or triple glazing windows, one even threaten to fight me instead.Quote:

There are also plenty of eminent scientists who think the opposite to you , as long as you understand that then there is nothing more to say really is there ?Quote:

it appears to me know as much on the subject as everyone else. The rich don’t seem to care about it either what with their private jets, super yacht’s etc etc, so why should we ?
Electric cars are a point in question, their carbon footprint is higher than a normal combustion vehicle.
Give it a rest bra.
Ok if there are scientists that think the opposite of me, quote them on what exactly about the physical process that scientists say causes climate change that they disagree with.Quote:

I can answer it the same way as you found the question , when are you going to see the correlation?Quote:

I won't bother with you now, no amount of evidence will change your mind, the only thing left to do is sit and wait for your lot to die off and get out the way, I don't think it'll be too long.
